Wonder if blakeross used this to write up his awesome Silicon Valley Script?

He used "Scrivener (2.60.5)" to write that one. (Run pdfinfo on the file to see this.)

My understanding is that they're not crazy picky about what you use to write the script as long as the output on paper/PDF is in hollywood standard format. (Layout, typewriter font, heading formats, etc.)

At work, we've written a system that parses scripts from PDF files that is being used for breakdown, script analysis, and sides generation by quite a few movies and tv shows.

Wow, I thought that was a legitimately leaked HBO screenplay. That's some phenomenal fan fiction. :)

Seriously good script.
